Rinse aid indicator (depending on model)
Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers.
If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly d ry : incr e a s e the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic dishes have more difficulty drying and a higher rinse aid
setting will not improve the situation.
Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programmes. In the case of shorter programmes, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents with rinse aid incorporated tend
to form excess suds.
